So Egypt, which already has massive financial problems, gets a massive loan from Russia to built a nuclear power plant. Why do I get the feeling like this could turn into a giant disaster with Western sanctions and all.
It would turn into a disaster without sanctions too. Investing in "civilian" nuclear power is at best a giant grift and at worst a smokescreen to cover for development of nuclear weapons.
Absolutely no slavery, we promise 100% workers rights. The reason why we don't use our own local labor has absolutely nothing to do with profits. Trust us.

It does seem a bit strange. Wouldn't solar + batteries be quicker, cheaper, and more scaleable at this point?
